LONG TERM CARE FOR MIISSANABIE CREE FIRST NATION

This long term care facility is being designed to what we know are beyond current standards, but we believe as necessary to maintain the health and safety of the residents and staff in the future, learning from the COVID experience.

This facility will contain 192 rooms.  All are private, with their own separate washrooms, to ensure adequate separation.      Couples can also have interconnected suites. All residents have direct access to exterior balconies to enjoy fresh air and sunlight.  All exterior rooms have their own private balconies and the remaining interior courtyard room residents have access to a large exterior open air balconies on the south east and south west corners, plus glass enclosed lounges on the north east and north west corners. A sweat lodge, plus outdoor and indoor ceremonial areas will provided. 

We also will use HVAC pressurization to ensure appropriate isolation of all individual rooms, again to guard against the spread of potential influenza and more dangerous airborne outbreaks.
